Coaching can make a difference but so can having Crosby and Malkin, as well as having a well rounded team. Whoever the best coach in the league is, I believe that person would still struggle trying to get this Wings team into the playoffs. They just don't have the horses. In 2015, they barely made the playoffs and got bounced in the first round. The next year they were barely over 500 and fired Johnson, made Sullivan the head coach and became significantly better.

I get your argument, but we had the best coach in hockey and even he was barely getting us in the playoffs. Then we lost our best player and our other guys aged. Ken Holland is more to blame than anyone. Blashill isnt good but he did not get any help from kenny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Abby has to be in the top 6 (stupid Blashill) I'd go with: Abby - Larkin - Frk Of course that demotes Nyquist and Tatar to the 3rd, we know that'll never happen. Honsestly though, why not? Maybe Tatar - Nielsen - Nyquist could be a very good scoring line. There's nothing wrong with having 3 of them, yes? 4th would be Wilson - Glen - Helm, making Booth the 13th and Witkow the 7th D while DD is hurt. So.... AA - Z - Mantha Abby - Larkin - Frk Nyquist - Nielsen - Tatar Wilson - Glen - Helm Daley - Green XO - Jensen Ericsson - Kronwall Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
